Annual Dickens' Christmas Market returns Nov. 27

LAKEPORT, Calif. – The annual Dickens’ Christmas Market – an event that transforms downtown Lakeport into an old English village for a day full of festivities – will return to Lakeport once again this year.


The eighth annual event will be held from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 27.

 

Traveling to downtown Lakeport during Dickens’ Market is like traveling back through the centuries.


Costume-clad characters from the 1800s stroll along Main Street and welcome guests to browse the shops and enjoy the food and vendor booths.


Event-goers are encouraged to arrive dressed for the occasion in period costumes and enter the costume contest for a chance at cash prizes.

 

Restaurants in downtown Lakeport offer delicious food for sale for the occasion, and a variety of tasty treats also are available at the “King’s Food Court” on Third and Main streets.


Vendor booths along Main Street include arts and crafts, toys, and plentiful gift ideas for the holidays. Some Main Street merchants host their own booths featuring seasonal products and specialty holiday merchandise.

 

A full schedule of musical entertainers perform throughout the day and Christmas carolers and strolling minstrels entertain the crowds. In addition, Eleven Roses Ranch offers free “sleigh rides” through town on a seasonally adorned mule-drawn carriage.

 

Sutter Lakeside Hospital will sponsor Santa’s Workshop, featuring Santa Claus in Museum Park and activities and snacks for children. Santa’s Workshop hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

 

The Christmas Lighted Parade begins at 6 p.m. Anyone may register for the parade; applications are available at the Lake County Chamber of Commerce.


The Annual Hospice Tree Lighting will take place at Museum Park following the parade. The famous deodar cedar is decorated by the Lakeport Main Street Association.
